Blackwells worst dressed list for 2006 holds no surprises

spears_britneyexposed.jpg Honestly. The way some of the stars and “socialites” are dressing and behaving these days do we really need Mr. Blackwell to keep creating his Worst Dressed list every year?

I think it’s pretty obvious, even to those who don’t keep an eye on what the stars are up to who is the worst dressed of them all.

This year, in his 47th annual list, Blackwell chose not one but two people to head the top of his notorious list. Yes, you guessed it. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have been named Co-Worst Dressed stars of 2006. Not surprising at all since they also seem to have become BFF as well.

paris_hilton08.jpg Blackwell calls Spears and Hilton “two peas in an overexposed pod,” He adds that they are “style-free and fashion deprived…the ‘screamgirls’ have arrived!”

Blackwell, not only famous for his Worst dressed list, has spent more than three decades as a fashion designer.

Another victim of his list is Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles. Camilla was crowned second-worst dressed, calling her “the Duchess of Dowdy.” Ouch!

Number three ended up being Paris and Britney’s night clubbing friend Lindsay Lohan whom Blackwell proclaimed to be “tragically trapped in fashion’s fast lane…From adorable to deplorable.”

“La Diva Christina is a fabulous singer…but she puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer! All crass, no class.” Blackwell said of Christina Aquilera.

The nasty quips continued as Blackwell dubbed Mariah Carey a “Fashion Pariah” and the “Queen of Catastrophic Kitsch”, and Paula Abdul who favored floral patterns last year, had her clothing choices named “fiascos that grow moldier by the hour.”

Others to make the list were Sharon Stone of which he said “it’s clear Sharon’s misplaced her fashion gift—she looks like an over-the-hill Cruella De Ville—after a seismic shift!”

Tori Spelling is “all chills and no thrills—guess Tori’s ‘down and out in Beverly Hills!’” and Sandra Oh “drowning in beads, bangles and prehistoric bows, she’s layered lunacy—from toes to nose” made the list as well.

Meryl Streep was the last to be named, and of Streep Blackwell said “Her beauty-of-a-career cannot be denied, but that beast-of-a-wardrobe is pure mother of the bride.”

On the other side of the coin Blackwell was pleased with the fashion choices of Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes, Beyoncé, Marcia Cross, Heidi Klum, Helen Mirren and Barbra Streisand. He also added in Nancy Pelosi and Princess Charlotte of Monacofor good measure.

Mariah Carey donates Fur to Charity and causes uproar

Mariah Carey donated a $7,500 fur coat to help Mongolia’s poor, but the coat has disappeared and animal rights activists are upset.

The coat was donated by Carey to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which told Reuters it had since been lost on its way to Mongolia, where it was to be given to nomads to help them keep warm in the winter. Each year, PETA distributes hundreds of cast-off furs to help clothe the homeless and refugees.

In Mongolia, PETA hires impoverished women to cut donated fur coats into narrow strips. The strips are then handed over to nomad families who use them to make the inner linings of their traditional winter coats.

Carey, 36, whose commercial success has not translated into awards show acclaim, was snubbed at the American Music Awards on Tuesday, despite scoring three nominations.
